Each square below represents one whole. What percent is represented by the shaded area?

76%

There are 50 total squares and 38 are shaded.

38/50 =

76%

The answer to your question is 52

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Percent of shaded area = ?

Process

1.- Count the numbers of squares in the first square

Number of squares = 5 x 5

                                 = 25

2.- Count the number of shaded squares in the second square

Number of squares = 13

3.- Calculate the percent of shaded squares using proportions

                    25 squares 100%

                      13 squares  x

                           x = (13 x 100) / 25

                           x = 1300 / 25

                           x = 52%
